  • ニセコ 2010 | Niseko 2010: First Few Days

    I’ve been in Niseko for a few days now, and have been taking a few photos around town while waiting for snow. The quality of the snow is great, but it hasn’t snowed in a few days so the quantity is lacking. Most of the good spots on the hill have been tracked out, but with any luck, the forecasted dump tomorrow will fill them in.

    I’m really glad that I made the change to the D700 last year. These night shots were taken at ISO 1600 or higher. Anything above ISO 400 was pretty much useless out of the D200. Pretty incredible and exciting how fast camera technology is progressing.

  • ポテトパーティー | Potato Party

    Jianjia, Sol, some teachers and I went to an izakaya (芋蔵) that served mostly potato foods. The potato strips dipped in honey and mayonnaise were especially good. They also had a huge selection of shochu with flavors such as coffee, lime, grape, and my favorite (but didn’t have the guts to try) – wasabi.

  • ジアンジア&ソル | Jianjia & Sol

    I wanted to get some photos of my friends Jianjia and Sol before they left Japan and move to San Francisco, but nothing was really working out for me. Initially, I intended on bringing my studio strobe with a beauty dish and battery pack, but when checking my equipment the night before, I found the battery to be completely dead. Glad I checked. I decided to make do with my speedlights, and brought two SB600s and two SB800s. When we got there, it was already dark. I had been hoping to catch a little bit of evening light, but that just wasn’t in the cards. The darkness made focusing and composing a bit difficult, but somehow it worked out. I set up one of the SB800s camera right with a red gel, and put two SB600s on a stand with a large umbrella. The wind was so strong that no amount of weighing it down would keep it up, so after about 20 minutes of suffering in the cold and dark underneath a bridge, we decided to cut our losses, call it a day, and head down to Yama-chan for some warm food and drink.

  • TomoTherapy: three60

    TomoTherapy: three60 Page2

    I was recently asked by TomoTherapy to do a shoot at the Aichi Cancer Center of Dr. Kodaira and his team. They are the first to use a TomoTherapy machine in Japan, and TomoTherapy wanted to do an article for their magazine three60. The team at TomoTherapy were great, and Dr. Kodaira and his staff were very warm and accommodating. It couldn’t have gone smoother!

  • 東京で手彫り | Tebori in Tokyo

    Tokyo 2010: Tebori

    On the last day of my trip to Tokyo, Shawn got a tattoo from a local horimono tattoo artist, Bunshin Horitoshi. He uses a machine for the outline, but the rest is all traditional style tebori. Shawn left the tattoo design and colors up to Toshi, who had chosen a kirin (giraffe) beforehand. After much deliberation, Toshi decided on green with blue, yellow, and red accents.
